Hi all my Crafty Friends, It is Magical Monday

Morning all,hope you are all having an amazing day?

I have the sun filtering through my patio doors,and the skies are a baby blue with fluffy white clouds floating by gently.Such a joy to see, as I really believe that we may have a little flourish of spring on its way.


How are you all doing?

Have you all been crafting ,experimenting and just having fun.

As an Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator I get the chance to play with amazing products.I recently purchased more Stampin Up stamp sets to add to my collection(WELL YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CRAFTY STASH CAN YOU .......)
Here are a couple of my cards that I have been making ,do hope you like them as much as I have enjoyed making them.

Over the weekend I decided to challenge myself.I suppose my style of crafting is not on the simple side of things.With this in mind I decided to have a go at making a couple of relatively simple cards(well simple for me)I was so happy with the finished results,but of course I did have amazing products to help me achieve these.

Over the years I have had chance to use a lot of craft products,so to find the perfect products has made my crafting so much easier ,and has added the professional touch to my  finished projects.

I don't think I could live without my Staple amount of Stampin up products.The quality of their stamp sets. and their ink pads are second to none.

When I have been out and about so many people comment on my ink pads and say what a brilliant idea on how they flip over to close them.This is why I fell in love with them, as I now no longer have dried out pads that lose their lids,plus they also have the added bonus of have re inkers with every single colour that they sell(watch this space I will be covering ink pads in a future post)

I have used Stampin Ups TIMELESS TEXTURE AND PICTURE PERFECT stamp sets to create these cards,and I will be definitely be using  these on many more of my projects.The Timeless Textures can be used in so many ways ,and I love how the
 Picture Perfect set has such a variety of stamps to help you create the most amazing craft projects.

I really fancy making  Home decor pieces with these sets so watch this space.
Well,my crafty friends wishing you all a wonderful Monday ,and don't forget to stop by daily to see what I am up to.

I have purchased all my supplies card ,stamp sets,Fine gold and silver thread, inks, from








                              Hope you enjoy the rest of your day ,Crafty Hugs to you all.
                                                                                      xxxx

Crafting to Help Charities



Hi All my crafty friends,

Thank you for joining me,I know it has been a while since I last blogged,but I am really going to try and make sure I blog on a regular basis.

Well enough about me........
How are you all doing?

What have you been up to craft wise lately?
Dare I say that Christmas is not too far away.
I am trying to get more organised this year ,and have started making my Christmas cards,decorations,wreaths ,bows etc.

This weekend I have been making some supplies for the Laurel Animal Sanctuary in Newton-Le-Willows in the North West of the UK.
They are a non profit Animal Sanctuary ,and they are having a local Christmas Stall to raise funds.I am trying to get as many crafty gifts made up along with my friends from my local Crafty friends group.














I just knew all those crafty bits and pieces that I have been hoarding for many months would be needed for something....

Of course I needed some extra crafty bits so had to order a couple of extra supplies.Well there is no better way to say to your partner that you need extra crafty stash.(wink,wink hubby)

I ordered my bits and pieces card stock,dies ,trims,stamps paper pads,glitters from here.
http://www2.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=140400&dbws=5016163



I would love to see what you make ,either Christmas, or any other occassion,as crafting is for sharing, and that is what I love so much about the crafting community.

If you have any questions,about crafting or the supplies I have used please feel free to contact me.

Speak soon my crafty friends.
Take Care.

Maria Simms From Clarity design Team Joined Us Today


                      A fabulous Crafty Session

Well, such a brilliant craft demonstration took place at the Crafty Friends meetup in Lowton Yesterday.
We where so lucky that the very talented Maria Simms from the Clarity stamps design team  came along to demonstrate for us, and finished off with a little make and take.

The session was absolutely fantastic with lots of hints ,tips and ideas on how to use Clarity's new Groovi board for parchment projects.
I have lots of ideas so when I get chance I will have a little play and hopefully produce some parchment pieces.Stamping goes perfectly with parchment craft so I hope to try out some ideas,so watch this space.


A lot of the ladies in the group bought the Groovi board starter pack,so hopefully once they start and finish their projects I will put them all up for you to have a look at.

I don't know about you, but I love watching love crafty demonstrations,and I learnt so much yesterday in such a small space of time.

A couple of photies for you,not my best photographs, but I am sure you can see the lovely Maria in full flow while at the group.


If you fancy joining us please have a look at the details on the side bar. Of course you can always email me and I will always try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Crafty Friends Is Still alive and Kicking.........



          Crafty Friends Still Going Strong

So sorry for not posting on a regular basis, but hopefully I will try and update this blog more often.
I have great intentions to make sure it is updated, and then something happens and it slips my mind.
It was one of my friends who had subscribed to my newsletter who said, "what has happened to your blog".
Well I hung my head in shame and promised to try and get it back on track.


So here goes.......... we are back on track...

Well Crafty friends has been going for just over 2 1/2 years now, and I cannot believe how quick time has flown.We still meet up in Church Lane ,community centre Lowton Warrington ,UK every Wednesday apart from the first Wednesday in the month.

THE GROUP IS AMAZING As we have such a talented and diverse bunch of ladies who come along .
They bring along their crochet,knitting,cross stitch,rag rugging ,Papercrafts,card making,Wet and dry felting,Home decorations to work on.
For those who like a bit of structure, and like to be shown how to make things there is

"The Paper Corner" where you make cards and papercraft items.There is an extra charge to this as this is totally separate from the group,but many people like this extra option and they pop in and out of the sessions as and when it suites them.

If you would like to come along to any of these sessions please just email me and you will be given all the up to date information etc.These sessions are becoming quite full so please enquire before you come along ,to make sure we have space.
Email:jackeanne@yahoo.co.uk

Below are a couple of pictures to show you what the group has been up.

The PAPER CORNER tomorrow ,so please pop back to see what the ladies have been up to over the last couple of months.
Wishing you all Happy Crafty Days......xxx

Saturday, 18 January 2014

A warm hello to all my friends,

Happy new year to you all ,and I do hope that 2014  will bring lots of happiness and joy to you all.
OH MY WORD...... where has the last couple of months gone.I have been really slack at keeping my blog up to date.As many of you know ,life is never that simple, and sometimes life,family etc just takes over.

Well it is really grey,chilly and raining slightly here today in the North West west of the UK.Mind you it is supposed to be winter,and so far we have managed to get away with not having any snow.

I have to say winter is not one of my favourite months as the grey wheather always makes me feel very down in the dumps.All you can see from the moment you wake up are grey skies,definitely a mood dampener.
Oh well, I need to cheer this conversation up ,don't I,put on my smiley happy face.
Crafting always keep me going, and I know I can rely on my crafty hours to take a away the blues,think there is a song with that line, will be trying to think of it all day."OH WHAT IS IT",this will be on my mind all day now lol.........

Well enough about me,what have you all been up to over the last couple of months?

The Crafty friends meetups in Lowton,Warrington have started back up again after the Christmas break.
Our first session was last Wednesday,and we had such an amazing turnout.Thank you so much for all those who join us as we really enjoy your company. The sessions are always a beehive activity,with some people just coming along to have a coffee and chat and to meet new people,and others bringing along their crafty bits to work on.

Sorry for being such a chattter box ,but my brain never seems to shut down.Until my next ctach up which will be more regular this year,YES, I promise it will be I will try and load some crafty photographs for you to have a look at
.

I love all sorts of crafting ,here are a couple of the items which I have made over the last couple of months.

Using Stampin Ups Crafty items is a great passion of mine,so keep checking back to see lots more of my creations.
Have a great weekend,and will be back soon with lots more craft information.
Bye for now.xx

What happens to Time......Where does it go?

Hello All my crafty friends,

My word doesn't time fly when you are having fun.I cannot believe that it has been over a month since I last blogged.
I did promise to show you some piccies of our session with the lovely Maria from Clarity stamps.

The samples where stunning, and the group was so inspired with all of Marias tecniques.
We had a great session, and had 17 ladies join us.I am saying ladies, as up to now we have no men join us,but of course our sessions are open to both ladies and gents .







 After the demonstration Maria had a make and take organised for the group.The ladies got really stuck into the make and take table, and produced many amazing samples which they where all extremely proud of.

The feedback from the group about the CLARITY SESSION was fantastic, and we are hoping to get Maria back in the near future for another amazing demonstration and make and take.


We are not having any crafty meetups during August ,but are back in September.

RETURN DATE: WED 11TH SEPTEMBER 2013
Same place, same time in Lowton Warrington.

Will blog towards the end of August and of course will also a do a reminder for the meetup at the same time.

Well hope you are having a great summer , and will chat to you in the next couple of weeks.
Take care nd happy crafty days to you all

Crafting Makes The World go Round

Hi My Crafty Friends

Just a short  sweet post ,just to let you know that I am still in blogland.After quite a few days of glorious sunshine in the North West of the UK we have woke up to such a gloomy day.

It didn't seem to both my little Westy dog, as he just sat in the garden looking up at the skies and watching the rain come down.He just loves loves the rain,but when I tempted him to come back in ,his treat won the day.



Here is my little westy waiting for his treat,doesn't he look so cute?


I haven't done an awful lot of crafting this last week as I am having major problems with my joints so have really had to watch what I am doing.Sleeping has been a nightmare and I have wished I could unscrew my arms ,take them off and put them on in the morning as they have been hurting so much in bed.

I love crafting ,but it can take over so much of your house.
Does anyone else have the same problem?My kitchen table should be called my crafting table as very rarely clear from crafty bits and peices.My other half sat down for his tea last night and said"which bit is my food".

I said don't exagerate your only sharing the table with a couple of my crafty bits.
Not quite true as it is rather full,so today I am going to try and tidy up ,so at least he does not have to share his food with trimmers,paper,punches ribbons and so much more.

Well, I am just waiting for my Stampin Up order to arrive,my little westy frightens the poor delivery guy to death. When my first delivery arrived he was petrified ,he thought I had a huge Alsation dog,but he started laughing when I told him it was a just a little small westy .


Hope you all have a wonderful day whatever you are doing and will speak to you all soon.

Take Care xxx

Crafty Easy Photograph Frames-A little Stampin Up

Hi All

My word I have actually had chance to get onto the the computer and try and catch up with everything.
This Bank holiday has been really busy with my family coming down from Durham,Thankfully they have all gone back home now as they are back in school tomorrow.

They love coming to my home, as they love crafting and just love my crafty stash.
This time the 2 oldest children covered little brown craft oval boxes which I had picked up in  the SALE in the RANGE shop.
They ripped loads of very colourful bits of paper and glued then directly onto the boxes.They looked really effective ,but I forgot to take photies of the.They have promised to send me pictures as I said I will make them some paper photo frames for them to be displayed in.

"Yes" these where the same frames as I had shown the craft group how to make at the last meetup.
Below are the style which I demonstrated at the group.They are so SIMPLE ,but so EFFECTIVE.

This little freestanding frame originally had my partner and son in,but when I told them I was taking it to the craft group they became photo shy.So now I had just an empty frame so I stamped a little scene from one of my STAMPIN UP SETS which looks very pretty and matches the colour of the frame perfectly.

The ladies who joined in said this was a lovely project to try as it was such a practical item.Of course you can fancy it up in your own style this was just to show you one of the ways how to make it look eyecatching.

Why not join us for our next meetup which is on
WEDNESDAY 5TH JUNE 2013
We are in Lowton ,Warrington which is so close to the motorways and the A580(East Lancs Rd)

For full details with adress and times etc just have a look on the right hand side on the menu bar.

Look forward to seeing our regular and new members this coming Wednesday,and if you need any help or have any questions etc do not hesitate to contact us.
Take care and speak soon

Did you make it? Crafty projects by our members

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all well and not too confused by our glorious British wheather.One minute it is quite warm with the sun shining brightly ,and the next dull,miserable and raining.

You just do not know what clothes to put on when you get up in the morning!

Today I was so cold ,I even had my warm boots back on again.What a contrast to the last couple of days when I wore my slip on shoes. 

I have even put my central heating on for an hour as my feet and my hands where freezing.My son reckons I need to live in a green house as I don't like the cold.I think somewhere such as Caribean islands........would be a better idea.

Below I have posted some of the beautiful crafting projects that our members of our crafty friends group in Lowton,Warrington have made.I demonstrate a mini craft along for members who enjoy paper crafting.  I have been teaching members how to make boxes,baskets,bags and embellishments .

Another lovely member also showed the group how to make fabric embellishments which we all enjoyed immensly.Many of the members have gone home and have been practising making the projects by themselves.

I am sure you will all agree that they are all beautiful, and all have their own individual style.It is wonderful to see the group enjoying crafting.

We do hope the members love joining both Sue and myself, as much as we love putting on the group.
We know many people look forward to to joining us once a fortnight,and welcome anyone who is interested in coming along.

The group is really informal ,and is for people who enjoy all styles of crafting from knitting,crochet,paper crafting ,jewellery making,sewing and so many other crafts.
Perhaps you just need to get out of the house to socialisefor a couple fo hours ,sit and chat  and learn a new craft, the choice is yours.



Here are a couple more pictures of members crafty makes.



Hope you have enjoyed looking at what we have been making ,and I will be back shortly with details on how our last session went.
Pop back to see a picture of the origami photo frame which I will be putting up in the next day or so.

Speak soon and take care. xx

Hello all my crafty friends,long time no see.

Sorry I have not posted for some time ,but as you know time flies by especially when so much is going on in your life.
Family life just seems so busy at the moment ,and there never seems enough hours in the day.

I have finally set myself some goals today, and one was to catch up on my blogging,so here I am .
As you may or may not know I am part of a craft group in Lowton ,Warrington in the UK.
We meet up every other Wednesday, and we have a small demo/craft along with all the members.
We have been concentrating on papercrafts and have been making a range of boxes,bags and various embellishments.


We have also had Rachel, another member, show us how to make fabric embellishments, this was a great session ,but up to now I do not have any photies to show you all.
Time ran short at this session so I never managed to take the photographs as I usually do
 Hopefully I will get some at the next meeting and I will post them for you .
I know a couple of the ladies complted cards with these ,so I will try and get some photographs off them all.
Once again THANK YOU Rachel, the session was brilliant.

The pictures below are from the previous session,so please accept my appologies for not posting them sooner.
This was the style of boxes and bags that I had done at the prevoius session, and two ladies brought the ones in that they had made at home.
Jackie W made the ones below ,I do not know how she never managed to eat the choccies she had put inside them.
The little flat bag would you believe was a plain old envelope, and I showed the members how to make them into little decorated bags.
I am sure you will agree that Jackies bag is gorgeous and has a lovely country style feel to it.




.

 Michelle another member brought her baskets in ,which she had also made at home.
They too where gorgeous,and it was fantastic to see that the ideas from the group have been used at home .
I love the way in both the members had adapted the original baskets,boxes and bags which I had demonstrated to them.
It shows that everyone has their own crafting style and I just love this.


I have also been doing a little crafting,unfortunatley not too much this week.I have been having problems with my joints so have had to cut down on my crafting as they where causing me so much pain.

Here are the cards that I have made ,do hope you like them?
These are the large 8 x 8" cards which I have used a variety of stamping tecniques on.





Well everyone I will try to make sure that I keep up with my blogging ,and now I am off to watch the film Hoodwinked with my son.So goodnight, and will catch up with you all hopefully at the end of the week.
Nighty,Night and take care Xxxxxxxx

A little bit of Boxing Homework

Hi all my crafty friends,

Hope you are all having a chilled out weekend,perhaps managing to do a little crafting!


I have been meaning to write this blog for the last couple of days,but with one thing and another ,I have just managed to start it.
I suffer from sinus problems, and this week has been no exception. I have also have been constantly sneezing, so not too sure if I have a cold starting ,or perhaps a little bit of hay fever.
Does that suggest we are actually going to get a little bit of springtime?

Last Wednesdays Crafty friends meetup in Warrington was so enjoyable.We had a fantastic turn out, and many new members came along.Thank you all so much for joining us, and do hope to see you every fortnight.
  Many members brought in their boxes from home, which I had shown them how to make at our previous session .Their pictures are below and as you can see they are so different ,but are made using the exact same technique.
We as human beings are all so different, and the boxes are a prime example of this, as no two boxes where the exact same.





I am really enjoying showing the members such a variety of tecniques ,as I know they can take them away and make them into some amazing projects.
Please keep following the blog as I will be showing you so many other tecniques over the coming months.
If you would like to come along to our Crafty Friends meetup, just take a look at the  menu
 "where we meet up" this should have all the latest meetup dates.

Will be back shortly as I am just editing the pictures of the projects we focused on at our last meetup.

Speak soon all my crafty friends xx

Beautiful Butterflies-Stampin Up Style

Hi All

Sorry I have not been in blog land for a while,but hopefully you will love what I have to show you today.

Well we have to start with the wheather,thats what us Brits are known for.
It wouldn't be a conversation if the wheather wasn't mentioned.
This morning was lovely and bright, and it really stopped me feeling down in the dumps,but alas this did not continue.This afternoon we saw grey clouds appear ,and it has now started raining.
My little Westy dog has just poked his nose out of the patio doors ,felt the rain reversed,sighed and went to his bed.He does look rather sad now.......Poor Westy dog.......

You may well be wondering why I am mentioning butterflies in the title,well I thought with spring close by, we may well be seeing butterflies in the next couple of weeks.With this being a couple of weeks away my next best thing was to show you the not quite so real butterfly stamps which come from STAMPIN UP.

Although these are not real,they look truly amazing  and are perfect for all your crafty needs The styles are perfect for all sorts of papercrafting ,and with the with the stunning collections of the Stampin Up inks they look amazing in whatever colour they are stamped in.

Below are a number of stamps that are from the main STAMPIN UP  Catalogue page 115,this set has 7 stamps,excellent value for money,great versatlity.
I have used various STAMPIN UP ink colours to give you an idea what they look like when stamped.

A BIG BONUS is that the stamps also have a matching punch which are so easy to use, and they cut out the butterflies perfectly.I personally struggle cutting out perfectly ,but the punches save me having messy edges.


Stampin Ups Swallowtail super large stamp  has the WOW factor,you literally only need this stamp and it fills a card.Decorate with all sorts of mediums from chalks ,water paints ,glitters this stamp gives you great value for money.

If you like the look of these stamps and are close to Warrington why not pop into our crafty friends Craft group this coming Wednesday.The stamps will be out for you to have a look at and for you to have  give them a go.You can see the full address at the top of this page including times.

BELOW is the large Stampin Up SWALLOWTAIL STAMP which is stunning and is a favourite order of many people.I used the Stampin Up ink pad as my water colour palette and I was so pleased with how it turned out.
This stamp is on page 18 of the mini summer STAMPIN UP catalogue and well worth every penny at only £12.95.

Do hope you have enjoyed looking at these beautiful butterflies,they may not be real,but they are gorgeous little beauties and well worth adding to your crafty stash.Butterflies are a crafters dream and I know they are part of many peoples crafty stashes.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend ,and hopefully I will be back mid week to show your the makes from the CRAFTY FRIENDS group this coming Wednesday.

Take care and speak soon.

The sides have been finished off with sheer oranza ribbon, and a co ordinating green faux mini buckle.




 The next 3 boxes I have decorated using the STAMPIN UP SECRET GARDEN STAMP SET which I usesd in a variation of ways from stamping with my stampin up ink pads in a selction of the most up to date colours.I have heat embossed the silver and pink box ,but it is the same flower that is in the set.

This stamp set is such a useful set, and you can do so much with it.
You can even get the matching dies  which cut out the stamped images for you which is fantastic if you stuggle with cutting out small bits.

A Serious Stamping Week-Stampin Up Crafty Projects

Hi Everyone

Hope you are all having a wonderfully relaxing Sunday.I was awakened very early this morning by extremely loud chirping birds in my garden.Every year about this time the birds try their haredst to wake me up extremely early,well they definately did this morning.
I lay in bed wondering do birds speak to each other ,and wondering what language they speak to each other in?

You can see where I am coming from as they travel thousands upon thousands of miles in a year and probably meet birds from many other countries,"yes" I am having one of those deep and mindful mornings.............

Hope you have have managed to get a little crafting in,I know many people have struggled to do this .The reason being the children are still off school as part of the Easter Holidays  in the UK ,some children had two weeks off, and others just the one week off depending where you live in the country.

I have been doing a little crafting ,and have been enjoying using my new crafty STAMPIN UP STASH that was delivered to me last week.I have a had a great time experimenting and trying out new papercafting tecniques.Below are a couple of pictures of the bits I have been working on and do hope you like them.





I also love working with material, and have made a lovely 3D effect picure using LAUARA ASHLEY FABRICS which co ordinately perfectly, and where finished off a with a selection of upcycled buttons.
I love the shabby chic feel and these represent this feel perfectly,so much so that I have 2 similar ones in my bedroom which are lovely as the 3d gives a different look to wall decor.
Here is the one I have just completed.




Just a quick REMINDER out next CRAFTY MEETUP is this Wednesday in Lowton Warrington which is very close to Wigan,St.Helens and is close to the major motorway networks.If you fancy joing us for a morning of craftiness or just to sit and have a coffee and learn new crafting tecqniques ,you would be most welcome to join us.

Our members all love their own style of crafting from paper crafting, crochet,quilting,knitting,jewellery making and many more.

If you have been thinking of starting a new hobby or need to get out and socialise this may be perfect for you .By coming along you may be able to decide which is going to be the perfect craft for you to have a go at. 

CRAFT- A- LONG THIS WEDNESDAY 10TH APRIL

This session we will be looking at making very simple origami boxes which are perfect for all sorts of gifts or even storing small crafty bits and peices.
I have lots of these boxes for gems ,small flowers etc
We will be making origami boxes and if we have enough time going over the  spiral flower tecniques ,which can be used to decorate the boxes.
If you would like to join me in making these, here is you craft Ingredient list for this session.

INGREDIENTS:

*  Card(or substantial paper) cut into squares,not very thick card as we will be doing a lot of folding .

* Scissors,bone folder or ruler if you do not have one 
* A circle template for the spiral roses( I use a plastic cup so anything like this would be fine
* Pencils ,pens to mark the circle
*  Wet glue for the roses(i use tacky glue,but whatever wet glue you you like to work with)Pritt sticks are not ideal for this type of work

If you have a craft tool box you will probably have all these in it,so just bring this along with you and please do not forget to label your items as many craft items are the same and we would hate for them to go missing.

I HAD BEEN making a number of boxes and baskets for the Easter period, and below are a couple which I thought I would show you.They where decorated with a Spring feel to them and where all stamped with the new STAMPIN UP SECRET GARDEN STAMP SET.

If you like this stamp set I will be bringing it along with me so you will be very welcome to use  it as it may be something that you would like to add to your crafty stash.
